Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson skyrocketed to the top of celeb hot lists while working her day job as Summer Roberts on “The O.C.” It wasn’t too tough for the L.A.-native actress to play the bratty so-Cal babe on the Fox show, even though she’s nothing like the character in real life. Born in 1981 to a Jewish father and Italian-American mother, it was her father who encouraged her to try acting. In 2003, Rachel appeared as a guest star on “The O.C.” before joining the cast full time after the 15th episode.

Rachel is a favorite with photographers on the red carpet and in photo shoots. Showing up on hot lists like Maxim’s “Hot 100 List” and People’s “50 Most Beautiful People” has become the norm. She’s stated that it’s time to move on from “The O.C.,” perhaps best demonstrating this by splitting from her “O.C” co-star/boyfriend Adam Brody after three years in 2006. That same year she played alongside Zach Braff in “The Last Kiss." And chances are, she’ll be making the top ranks of more hot lists for all to enjoy year after year.
